This great resources has successfully engaged students of all abilities for over 24 years. It was the number one download on the website www,schoolhistory.co.uk. This much loved resource has been updated and tweaked so that it is accessible for the full ability range.
The worksheet comes in two sections. The first looks at the traditional story of the Gunpowder Pot as it has been taught to school children for hundreds of years. I have created a series of questions and activities aimed at foundation and core students that helps them to study an old Victorian school history book version. This is a great exercise to help students appreciate how history has been taught in the past.
The next section looks a the revisionist version of the Gunpowder Plot and gives students a series of contemporary sources and secondary research by historians to help them decide whether Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty. The activity aims to get them to draw a table to help them analyse the information before having a go at writing a newspaper report from either a Catholic or Protestant stand point on what happened.
If you like this resource, then I have produced a PowerPoint and series of card sorts,which may want to download separately or in the bundled version of this resource entitled the Gunpowder Plot, 1605.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: What were the consequences of the break with Rome?
Know: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot?
Understand: Why did the Catholics want to murder the King and Parliament?
Evaluate: How far does the historical evidence prove that Guy Fawkes was innocent or guilty?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?

This great resource is designed to be used a starter or plenary to help students sort through the chronology of what happened during the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. It is designed to work alongside any main stream resource or video on this topic. I have designed a lesson around this resource using the PowerPoint to drive the main activities which would suit a primary school or lower ability group at secondary group. If you are looking for a more challenging resource, I have also uploaded work suitable for higher ability students.
When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a twelve slide PowerPoint presentations with starters, plenaries, historical sources, information slides and video clips to support the main activity. You will also be able to download a Microsoft word document with a copy of the key events.
I normally keep a copy of the card sort in 15 envelopes and get me students to quickly order them into the order in which they think it happened before feeding back to a class discussion. This takes about 3 minutes. However, you can also give it out as a sheet and ask them to cut out the cards and stick them into your book. This can take up to 15 minutes. If you are being observed it might be an idea to get your students to sort the cards at the beginning to help you evaluate what they know and then do it again at the end to help you demonstrate progress.
This is a tried and trusted resource which has never failed to ignite my learners interest in the topic. The aims and objectives of this lesson are:
Theme: The consequences of the Break with Rome
Know: What happened during the Gunpowder Plot in 1605?
Understand: Why would the Catholics want to kill the king and parliament?
Evaluate: How far does the historical evidence support that Guy Fawkes was framed?
Skills: Source Analysis, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration

This outstanding resource is designed to help students analysing the key reasons why it was difficult to maintain law and order in the American West. It is followed up by a thinking skills review triangle activity to help students decide which factor was the most important. Both activities can be used as a revision exercise, starter or plenary and will work along side any main stream text book or resource on the American West.
The first resource entitled ‘Card Sort - Why was law and order a problem in the West?’, includes five headings under which the students can sort the rest of the cards. These are political, social, economic, geographical, values and attitudes. The rest of the resource then includes 11 cards which can be matched to the headings.
Once the cards have been sorted, the students should then be able to move onto the review triangle activity. This is best done in pairs or groups, with one person from each group feeding back their results onto the IWB and explaining their choice.
The results from the review triangle and the card sort can then be used, along with any of your other classroom resources, as a basis for students writing an essay or extended piece of writing on this topic.
The aims and objectives for this lesson are:
Theme: The American West
Know: What were the key reasons why maintaining law & order was difficult?
Understand: What roles did social, economic, geographical factors as well as the values and attitudes play of the people at the time, play in making law enforcement difficult?
Evaluate: Which was the most important factor?

This fun and engaging activity delves into the primary factors influencing Henry VIII’s break with Rome, offering students a comprehensive exploration through a card sort exercise and a critical thinking review triangle activity.
The resource “Card Sort - Henry VIII’s Problems” presents students with four key headings: power, religion, money, and personal, under which they can categorize the 14 accompanying cards, each representing different aspects of the historical context.
Following the card sorting activity, students are encouraged to participate in the review triangle exercise, ideally in pairs or groups. Each group selects a representative to share and justify their categorizations on the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB), fostering discussion and critical thinking.
The insights gained from both the card sort and review triangle activities can be leveraged alongside existing classroom materials to inspire students to craft essays or extended pieces of writing on the complex topic of Henry VIII’s separation from Rome, encouraging deeper reflection and analysis.
This multi-faceted approach not only enhances students’ understanding of history but also cultivates their analytical skills and ability to construct well-reasoned arguments based on historical evidence.
When you purchase this lesson you will be able to download a two page word document that contains the card sort and review triangle exercise. Everything has also been uploaded as a PDF.
The aims and objectives are as follows:
Theme: Why did Henry Break with Rome?
Know: What were the key reasons for his decision?
Understand: What roles did power, religion, money and personal problems play in his decision?
Evaluate: Which was the most important factor?
WILF - What Am I Looking For?

The card sort - Henry VIII''s problems includes four headings under which the students can sort the rest of the cards. These are power, religion, money and personal. The rest of the resource then includes 14 cards which can be matched to them. Once the cards have been sorted, the students should then be able to move onto the review triangle activity. This is best done in pairs or groups, with one person from each group feeding back their results onto the IWB and explaining their choice.
In a nut shell, students complete the snowballing starter, watch the video, make some notes and then have the choice of completing the card sort, colour coding a printed off version of Henry VIII's problems or creating their own summary. They can then have a go at deciding which problems were the most significant before having a go at doing a prediction exercise where they write a speech outlining how they would solve Henry VIII's problems. This is followed with some information slides and an extended writing exercise with support slides where the students explain why Henry VIII broke with Rome. Finally, there this is consolidated with a heads and tails activity were they match how Henry VIII solved each problem identified earlier.
The aims and objectives are:
Theme: Why did Henry VIII break from Rome?
Know: What problems faced Henry VIII in 1525?
Understand: Which problems were connected to money, religion, power and a legitimate heir?
